I’ve been feeling a bit beseiged and fragmented by excessive simultaneous communications recently. It makes me feel a bit wired – just as I’ve started one thought, I get interrupted by another channel of communication. So I’ve decided to do something about it:
My first step was enumerating all channels through which I communicate. In no particular order:
- Blog
- RSS
- SMS
- Cellphone
- EMail JRC
- Email Google
- IRC
- MSN
- Land line work
- Land line home
- Face to face
- Shouting through my office wall
- Web
- Snail Mail
- Internal Mail
- Newspaper
- TV
- Google mail notifier
- Office nuclear emergency system.
- Calendar reminders.
- Mp3/podcast
